I am pretty sure a judge would weigh all the evidence in the case.

I agree. I started in a cargo van and went to a straight to accomodate more freight, but I had more room to sleep in my CV. I have an fl60 with an integral sleeper. 30" wide and 76' long right behind the seats. As far as who has it tougher I suppose it depends on specifics. I have not driven...

I hear ya Fastrod, also why do some folks act like because these two don't drive for a living they are bumbling idiots. They may not understand all the idiosyncrasies of driving but I imagine they would shortly be among the top performers if they went to driving full time. One of them is the CEO...

Remember the golden rule "He with the gold makes the rules" that is a privilege of OWNING the company.

If the point is to understand the drivers position then it should be incognito. If it is charity bring out the fanfare. So which is it? This job can be tough and rewarding regardless of what we drive van or straight. We are all can dwellers out here not knowing where we will be next. BTW...

This is true

I figured the turn down factor was what you were getting at. My belts look good, sounds like a good reason to change them. Hey OVM don't you mean what is summer?

How often should one replace belts? Also how does the weather affect expedting in the context of cold weather?

I am not sure. I have a buddy who drives a TT and he mentioned about logging off duty time and our call was ended before I could ask that question. I don't see the point in logging off duty. Once you start the clock even if you are on duty for 10 minutes the clock has to reset for 10 hours...

Take care Inkasnana. I pray the best for you and mental.

You are able to log off-duty time at a shipper provided the following rules are adhered to. B-6. How would "waiting time" at a terminal, plant, or port be logged? "Waiting time" at a terminal, plant, or port may be recorded as off-duty, sleeper berth, or on duty/not driving, depending on...

I have had one for several months and it has not been required to date. I used to see loads where it was needed then I got it and haven't seen another. Murphy.

The start of this post and many others came with a question about being smart. You and EB have almost 6 years experience between the two of you and can't seem to make a simple bid. You declare the company is getting over on you yet you don't know what they are getting. I chose to enter into...

Like I said YOU DON'T KNOW there are too many variables with each load. By the time you would have bid that load it would have been half way to Columbus. That is assuming you would have bid it without nit picking every detail. So I have no problem with one sitting back to be spoon fed loads just...

I see loads up to 3800lbs go into sprinters all day long. Can you just give a quote? I am for rates going up after all I drive too. I would just like to know what drivers would charge to move the freight and we can go from there. Or do we just gripe and moan to no avail?

This is one of the main points of contention NO ONE KNOWS. At least those who continually harp about rates. I asked in another post for a bid and have not recieved any quotes. People love the idea of the free market with no competition. Please refrain from the rhetoric about how this market is...

I am not going to argue the weight here. So whatever weight you will haul in your sprinter come up with that number and price the load.

I wonder if there is a loophole for having the window rolled down. At that point it is no longer an enclosed space. A lawyer might have fun with that. A little discretion might have been used in writing the citation.
